This may be of interest:

A friend gave me two cabinet LED strip lights which had been left over after his new kitchen fit.

They are 36 inch long, low wattage and 1000 lumens. They come with a plug in mains lead plus a short extension lead which allows the lights to be connected one to another. They have an on/off switch plus 2 clips for wall mounting or fixing under a shelf.

I fixed one under a shelf above the minilathe which it lights really well.

They are from Screwfix and cost approx £14 each.

I bought something similar from Aldi/Lidli some time ago and they are ideal for local lighting. I have a shorter one fitted over my grinder and it,s perfect,never thought about fitting one over my lathe,now there, s an idea !!!!!
